FOOD HYGIENE (GENERAL) REGULATIONS, 1960
Reference is made earlier in this Report to the shops in the district
and the number in the various categories. Almost without exception, food
in each group comply with Regulation 16 and Regulation 19 of the Food
Hygiene (General Regulations of 1960.
SLAUGHTERHOUSES
There are three slaughterhouses in use in the district, namely; at
7 Northolt Road, South Harrow, 46 High Street, Wealdstone, and 87
Stanmore Hill. Slaughtering at 7 Northolt Road is expected to cease
during 1968, while the situation at 46 High Street, Wealdstone, will be
reviewed when an abattoir, now under construction in the area of a nearby
authority comes into use.
The number of animals slaughtered during the year total 7,736. This
total represents an increase of 10% in last year's figure, and is the highest
kill for 10 years.
Of this total, 6,829 (88%) were killed at the slaughterhouse situated
in the rear of 46 High Street, Wealdstone, which, by reason of both
situation and size, is the least suited for the wholesale trade. By comparison,
the volume of killing at this slaughterhouse approached twice the total
killed in the eight local slaughterhouses that were in use in the district
in the year 1937.
